[0006]The present invention addresses the concerns identified above by providing a pet leash and waste pick-up device which comprises a retractable waste pick-up tool which is conveniently disposed in a sheath housing compartment on the leash device. When it is necessary to pick up and dispose of pet waste, the tool is removed from the sheath housing, expanded to a usable orienta

Problems solved by technology

Such an approach is generally effective, but is undesirable, and often unsanitary, as there is often a small hole in the bag or other problem which causes the owner's hand to inadvertently contact the waste.

Embodiment Construction

[0037]Referring now more particularly to the drawings, there is shown in FIGS. 1-6 and 12-14 various embodiments of a pet leash and waste pick-up device 10 constructed in accordance with the present invention. In FIG. 1 is shown a first embodiment comprising a leash housing 12 having an opening 14 through which a length of leash 16 may be extended or retracted. Retractable leashes of this type are well known in the art, and this aspect of the inventive device is conventional. A handle 18 is connected to the leash housing 12 for permitting a user to hold the leash. The user may also conveniently hold the leash device by gripping the sheath 20.

[0038]Integrated into the leash and waste pick-up device 10 is a sheath 20, which comprises a hollow housing 22 and a removable closure 24, for selectively closing an opening in the housing 22. The sheath 20 is adapted for containing a waste pick-up device, which will be described hereinbelow. It may also be adapted for containing a supply of pl...

Abstract

A pet leash and waste pick-up device comprises a retractable waste pick-up tool which is conveniently disposed in a sheath housing compartment on the leash device. When it is necessary to pick up and dispose of pet waste, the tool is removed from the sheath housing, expanded to a usable orientation, and fitted with a plastic waste bag. The device is then maneuvered so that the center of the bag is positioned over the waste to be removed. At this point, the tool is retracted, thereby closing the bag over the waste. The bag can then be simply removed from the tool, sealed appropriately, and stored for disposal, without risk of the user directly contacting the waste.

Accordingly, any pet owner who is walking his / her dog through their neighborhood must take appropriate measures to ensure that any pet droppings are collected and disposed of in a proper manner.[0003]The current state of the art for leash devices is a retractable leash which comprises a plastic housing for containing a coiled leash. The housing also includes a handle feature. An example of this ty...
